Kanye is gonna be doing a few festivals to promo his new album, and Lolla/OSL would not surprise me. Big Boi got a GREAT reaction last year, at least where I was, so seeing acts like Wiz & Kendrick, who would be perfect for the OSL crowd, on the lineup would be nice.

I would like to see Kendrick there. I'm not a big Whiz fan. I really would like Jurassic 5.

Because you somehow manage to fall asleep makes him not a desirable headliner for others? One of the best shows I've ever seen. Music wise of course because he doesn't move and nothing more then a thanks as far as crowd interaction. Either way Clapton won't be there. Has he even played any festivals that wasn't crossroads recently?

I doubt Macca will be there also. Didn't he just play AT&T last year or so? Macca isn't exactly one to hit the same city multiple times within a couple years is he?

Re: Outside Lands 2013

has Costello played OSL....???

Coachella 07 (the introduction), 08 (the bands), 09 (the documentary), 10 (the people i came with), 11 (the relationship test... we passed), 12 (whatever the weather, Dirty Epic forever), 13 (the year of the troll)

Re: Outside Lands 2013

then thats the one act I would want to see there more than any other.

I think it's a long enough gap between the two fest so I don't think it would be an issue. I don't think these older acts like to tour as extensively as they used to so Costello might rule himself out of it but I don't see why APE should rule any Hardly Strictly act out.

The last 4 gigs in Vancouver by Clapton had phoned in performances. Knebworth 1990 might be the last time he did a relatively full festival set that was a paid gig. he's done lots of charity gigs with short sets.

Macca would be $3-4m plus Bonnaroo might have a 2012 stateside festival exclusive.

You might be right, but has there been a band that has played at OSL the year after they played at HSB? I don't think so but I'm not going to spend an hour double checking. They definitely have us guessing this year.

There might have been some smaller tier acts to do it but nothing of the Costello level. Either way it's not worth it and sort of pointless to spend the time to research it.

Re: Outside Lands 2013

I hate to sound cynical, but if the biggest festivals have to dig way back to performers like Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello, what does that say about the state of music today? I watch Woodstock and some of the old Loolapaloozas and tears well up in my eyes. There's great music out there, but what happened to big time performers who aren't hip hop or pop performers?

Re: Outside Lands 2013

They're called Arcade Fire, the Black Keys, Muse, Gorillaz, Phoenix (remains to be seen I suppose), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and within a few years acts like Frank Ocean, Grizzly Bear, etc. They're out there, they are draws, but we don't have the homogenized culture of decades past where people unanimously agree on what is good. The fact that a band like Arcade Fire can headline a festival is more impressive than someone like Paul McCartney in my eyes.
